IN THE SAME BOAT.

Newspapers may come, and newspapers
may go; but you can record it upon the
tablets OF your memory, and forget it not,
that the Chief never solicits subscribers
under false pretenses, or beats them out of
their money. Everybody knows what the
paper is, and when they subscribe, they
get all the paper they pay for-and some
times good many more. Better pay So
year for it, and get it the year, than pay
$3.50, and be beaten out of 81 OF it.
Chief.
The WORLD is in the same boat
with the Chief. Its price is the same.
Considering the length of time which
this county has been settled, it has
been here as long as the Chief has
been in Doniphan county, although
that model journal is in its thirty
first year. The WORLD has earned
its money honorably, paid its bills,
and spoken it's sentiments. Just as
is the case with any other journal
which has worked hard enough to
establish itself, the WORLD has made
enemies. It is proud Of them.
The friends of the county of
Trego-those who believe in discus
sing candidly and truthfully the
merits Of this region will stand by
the WORLD, as they always have
done. They will not ask us to fur.
nish it from three to five months fol-
quarter, either.

CONGRESS-.


Congress is to meet on next Mon
day. This is to be long session.
It probably will not adjourn sine die
before in August, 1888. This ses-
sion, as affecting the coming presi-
Dental contest, will be one Of ex-
treme Importance. The senate is
Republican by bare maj ority. The
house will be Democratic by ma
iority of fifteen, as far as the Repub-
ican representation is concerned,
the former numbering 1853; the lat
ter, 1853. Four independents COM
plete the structure Of the house.
How they will vote, remains to be
seen. As far as the Democrats are
concerned, the brighter class Of them
in congress, along with the Repub-
lican members, doubtless desire re-
vision Of the tariff laws. Here we
are on strategetic ground. Randall,
the great Democratic protectionist,
it is to be believed until otherwise
proven, will fight even his own
party in any attempt looking to a
general sweeping reduction Of the
present tariff rates. He can defeat
any such a scheme, because the Re-
publicans will stand by him in this
work. Will it not be strange, then,
if the Democrats in congress, at it's
approaching session, succeed in CIV
ing to the country new set Of tar
if laws? 1t is perhaps upon the
tongues end of the thoughtful read
err to ask how congress can afford to
ignore legislation Of such generally
conceded vital Importance. Well,
we have shown the improbability Of
the Democrats being able to accom-
plish any decisive results in this d.
rection. The question naturally
follows, Can the Republicans accom-
plish any thing at the coming ses-
sion toward revising the tariff laws?
1t looks as if they can not. The Re
publican party is the originator of
our present comprehensive system of
tariff laws. Its representatives in
congress are ready to revise these
laws to conform to the changed con-
dition of affairs now as compared
with when they were framed. We
are satisfied, however, that the Dem
ocrats in congress will not permit
this to be done. Even Randall and
his following will be apt to take the
position that such legislation from
this source would give to the Re
publican party in the coming presi-
dental contest q dangerous vantage
ground.
Closely allied to the tariff question
is that Of the surplus in the national
treasury. On the one hand, we are
satisfied that the Republican party,
with such financial generals as John
Sherman in congress, is able, outside
the important matter of votes, to
meet this surplus question, by provi-
ding. first, for putting in circulation
the present surplus, and thus mitigat-
ing the present stringency in money
circulation; and, secondly, SO to
amendthe present tariff laws as topro-
